    Excellent service, ambiance and delicious food. Very pricey but definitely worth it. My husband said his served steak was the best he had in a long while. My son burger was tasty he had the surf and turf burger that comprised of steak, fried calamari and lobster with 3 types of cheese. 😋 excellent place for small gathering or delicious food.

    We found metal in one of our orders which cut my friend’s mouth, the supervisor/ manager blamed their supplier instead of apologizing. Then we still had to pay for the meal THAT HAD METAL IN IT. The food was poor altogether, one order even gave my friend food poising. This one star is for Carlos our server since he was nice. 0 stars for Green jacket otherwise. The burger below is the meal that came with a piece of metal

    Exceptional food...in the East! Kudos to the chef. The chicken roulade and the grilled salmon were divine!. This restaurant is top tier! I highly recommend you visit. You won't be left disappointed. My taste buds are still raving about this food 😏 🌟Revisited on 02Sept23 for our 7 year anniversary and we had the 10oz sirloin with lemon cream sauce and the pan seared mahi mahi. Let me tell you.. consistency is Key here because the quality of the food never drops! It was *chef's kiss* My only criticism was we received no 'niceities' for our anniversary, not even a 'happy anniversary' drizzled in chocolate on a plate or a 'happy anniversary' greeting from the server after we informed them of our special occasion when we booked the reservation. Another thing was that our server seemed really 'preoccupied/distracted- it took her ages to come back to check on us after our meal ' and we couldn't even get dessert to end our meal- we enquired and she sort of brushed it off so we just took the bill and left. Let me be clear- this is the first and ONLY time I've ever had service short of excellent from this establishment- so I believe this to be a fluke and I won't let this deter me from coming again. Hopefully that's a management issue they can improve in the future with the wait staff.

    Was warned first of their full house. But nevertheless the Extremely accommodating staff and Lady of the House treated my husband and I with such courtesy and attention, I almost forgot the length of time we were there. The food was delicious, exactly what we ordered even with my specifications. BEST in the east/west corridor. Warm, inviting and modern ambiance. 6 stars.

    A wonderful experience from start to end. The place is beautiful, the staff are pleasant and the food is delicious. The menu is very extensive with something for everyone. I must mention their chocolate plate dessert which was absolutely divine. An overall great fine dining experience and definitely worth the drive to Piarco.

    ** PROS **: Ambiance, hospitality, hygiene and service ** CONS **: Underwhelming portions; PRICING + value for money, food that does NOT even match the description/ name (e.g. 'Bomba de Patatas' / the 'Moussaka' dishes) Eating in Trinidad, Trinidad foodies & foreign guests will often find something lacking when it comes to the holistic food experience; there is always something MORE that could be desired. Either it's the taste of the food itself, or presentation, hygiene, service, the pricing, or just plainly, the value for your money. LET ME WARN POTENTIAL RESTUARANT GOERS- Green Jacket left me feeling cheated of my money. While I enjoyed the ambiance & hospitality (which you pay for in every restaurant in Trinidad 10% service charge), you will spend a fair sum of money and wonder WHAT you ordered. Please don't use the excuse of a "high-class, fancy dining experience" to serve underwhelming portions & food that does NOT even match the description/ name. We think in Trinidad that driving up pricing in an establishment will keep the riff-raff out, but, Dear God, all you keep out is repeat discerning customers, who will in turn, share the word about your establishment. Value for money, and not even that, let's say PRICING consideration for the dishes served was SKEWED. On top of that, the food was completely misleading in terms of their titles. What looked like a scoop of stewed vegetables with a yellow sauce doused on top was supposed to be the Greek vegetable pie Moussaka (see 2nd pic for ref). That was a COMPLETE & UTTER disappointment for me. Living in Greece & the Levant, I KNOW WHAT is Moussaka. Re-consider naming it 'Moussaka-inspired'. For $375 for my Christmas menu + 10% service charge, it was 'le rip-off', mon cher (Hope I said it 'fancily enough'.) Your 'BOMBA de patatas' (Lit - Potato Bomb; see 1st picture for ref.) had me looking at my plate in shock....someone creamed the smallest baby potato you could find, added some garnishing and called it a BOMBA. Honey, please. Look up what the word means in Spanish, and you will realize it's not a BOMBA but a huevecito I got. Also your prettily-made up Christmas menu does not even have pastelles or any local fare (though parang is played in the restuarant). Stick to some Buddha-bar chillout tracks as this makes more sense for the Green Jacket's aesthetics. The fried calamari that my brother ordered looked like they killed the smallest baby-rat-octopus, fried it & served it. I will give them 95% for presentation but the fare itself is not the best in quality, cut or value. Maybe I was simply not the right customer for this place. If you want a chill, aesthetically pleasing place to have a cocktail or two and an appetizer that will cost you roughly $250 - $350 TTD per person, sure, Green Jacket is a WONDERFUL place. Or discreet business rendez-vous tucked away in a classy oasis with art-nouveau feel, and lite-dining, ok, perfecto! But don't bother IF you're a family/ date couple, etc. looking to go out, eat and get value for your money in a lovely ambiance OR a dedicated, discerning foodie who has world-class dining experience. You'll be severely disappointed and leave feeling cheated, like I did.

    The restaurant was quite accommodating, our reservation was made not more than 5 minutes before after a cancellation at another. The ambience was peaceful and the staff is quite trained in customer service. Our waiter was so attentive to our needs and this made us feel welcomed. The food was amazingly delicious. Although the bar was closed due to coronavirus restrictions, that didn't bother us. The manager made it his duty to speak with us after our meals and this was such a nice gesture that I would most definitely be revisiting.

  • 3/5 Review E. 6 months ago on Google
    The food was good, I liked it. Portions were good, although the flavors of some options could be better. I left feeling satisfied with my meal and that the price to quality of food was good. Specifically, the meat options were tasty, as well as, the veg options. They specify in the menu what is vegetarian and vegan which is nice and I was able to make small substitutes to my meal to make it better suited for me. The service was okay. I'm not sure if it was due to the time I went. Since it only had 1 waiter and the rest were bartenders/bust boys. Atmosphere was good, not great. The music, table arrangement, decor and lighting was beautiful. My only complaint was a fly buzzing around and lounging on the food when we were talking in between. One time is more than enough, it was unacceptable. Overall, I would go back with friends as a nice mid-high end dine in restaurant.

    Had the pleasure to take away food for my anniversary during the lockdown when they recently opened. The food was flavorful and definitely made my evening. Was able to return to dine in for a birthday. I must say the decor was quite amazing and the waitress was very pleasant and accommodating.

    I made a reservation for myself and my husband to celebrate my birthday. Needless to say, it was an experience to remember. Not only did they NOT remember the reason for the booking, almost everything I wanted wasn’t available. I had to settle for the spinach soup, which looked more like a paste than soup. The bread that was stuck in the soup, tasted better than said soup. The main course I wanted was apparently non-existent anymore but it was still on the menu and the server was unaware. My husband and I settled for the grilled chicken, which was anything BUT grilled and was flavourless. The so-called guava sauce was Barbeque sauce. The mashed potatoes were decent enough but at least they got the vegetables right. When I asked to see the dessert menu, all of the best desserts were unavailable and to make matters worse, when I asked what ice cream they had, they only had vanilla and it was Creamery. Seriously?! I just wanted to leave at that point. We had ordered The International Platter to take home and of course, they didn’t have any wantons and no shrimp for the burrito. Just my luck. Even that didn’t taste great. Their food was disguised as edible but packed a serious punch on our stomachs as we were upset all night until the next day. However, the server, Lea I believe her name was, was the only saving grace in this night of horrors. Never again shall I grace those walls. This has now been blacklisted along with Touch n Taste Restaurant. The only difference was that TnT restaurant’s food actually looked inedible from the presentation, The Green Jacket’s was just deceptive in its approach.

    Had the place to ourselves, very good food and service. Dessert..the Snitch was excellent!

  • 5/5 Dev M. 6 months ago on Google
    All food items were excellent. Then the chef made a golden snitch (Harry Potter Quiddich) for dessert which totally blew me away.

  • 3/5 Louis L. 6 months ago on Google
    A wide menu of options and tastily prepared meals. The service is moderately timely, and that's when I was there, at full capacity. The waiters were attentive and warm. Good value for money and generally a nice vib.

  • 3/5 Natasha M. 6 months ago on Google
    The food tasted good but it wasn't fine dining quality. The service was very slow which was surprising as the restaurant wasn't busy. We had to get the server's attention a couple of times to order our food and drinks. The food was out in approximately half and hour. My experience wasn't disappointing but I expected way better service for the price paid. I think the staff needs better training Also our reservation was for 1pm. The restaurant was extremely hot and all of us were sweating. The staff said that it takes awhile for the air-conditioning to cool the area. I would have assumed that they would have it running so that it would be cool before guests arrive. It was very uncomfortable

  • 2/5 Mitra D. 8 months ago on Google
    Two stars goes entirely to the hostess and the aesthetic of the restaurant. Ambience can be given a mild "okay" as the blender used at the bar drowns out the sound of everything else even the voice of the individual seated next to you. Food was very underwhelming... The vat and service charges are ridiculous for such a mid quality experience especially after having been to 5 star restaurants that did more for your buck. Only positive takeaway would be that it's great for pictures, however I highly recommend exploring other options before you visit this restaurant.

  • 4/5 Lillian F. 10 months ago on Google
    Staff were friendly and accommodating from the first interaction on the phone. The drinks were well made. The food was served quickly. The portions were adequate,(big eaters may want to ensure they do an appetizer). Overall, a charming experience. I would visit again.

  • 3/5 Louann B. 11 months ago on Google
    The food was quiet tasty, I also had a pina colada it was nice and creamy needed a bit more alcohol but still good, the staff was very attentive, all in all it was a nice experience!!!

  • 5/5 Oseye A. 3 years ago on Google
    Delicious food Reasonable portion sizes Great variety of options to eat, and to enjoy. Perfect for a lunchtime run away for a meal with a friend, a meal with coworkers or even for something special. I will be going back and checking out their menu options one by one. The meal was well enjoyed

  • 3/5 Sasha M. 3 years ago on Google
    Appetizers were a bit pricey for the serving size, the main course was okay, dessert was best! (Chocolate plate)

  • 5/5 Jason M. 3 years ago on Google
    Thank you Green Jacket for your presence in the east besides TGIF, etc. The location is great, food was enjoyable and you had a very pleasant staff. Dimming the lights a tad bit can be something to consider. But overall, it was a decent experience. Cheers 🍻

  • 5/5 Patrice C. 3 years ago on Google
    Great ambience. Exceptional food. Good service. Loved the personal touch with both owner and chef greeting patrons. A definite must visit again.

  • 4/5 Erico M. 1 year ago on Google
    Very fancy place, the food is well presented and they looks to have a good variety of wine, beer and liquors.

  • 3/5 Keegan 1 year ago on Google
    “Fine dining” is not an excuse for serving mediocre portions of average food at a premium. We were greatly underwhelmed with the taste of the food and portion sizes. The salmon and ribs were not very flavorful and tasted purely of the meats themselves. The $320 rack of lamb consisted of 5 TINY pieces of lamb chops that left the person still hungry. The cooking of the meats was spot-on though. Service was okay. Our server was friendly though very busy so things took a while. I don’t expect to be visiting again.

😠 I'm sorry to say I am very disappointed. The pic's I posted is at the Piarco branch. The Restaurant was very dirty, floors and tables. The Restaurant even had flies all over. Could even sit down to eat properly. The Security, who apparently was on lunch had to clean up the counter by the condiments...
